It looks like if you want to receive your Pixel on launch day and have yet to pre-order it, your best bet is the Pixel 2 Unlocked 128 GB Just Black version. The rest of the phones have delayed ship dates by at least a couple of days. It’s likely that stores will get replenished stock before the holiday season gets into full swing though.

The price point may seem high, but Google is offering financing options to pay the phones off over 24 months.

All the Pixel 2 phones will be equipped with the Google Assistant, which can be synced with other Google devices including the Google Home Mini and Max and the Google Pixelbook, which will all be going on sale soon.

The phones also come equipped with an “Active Edge” that allows the user to squeeze the phone to indicate that they’d like their assistant to listen to their commands.

All the phones come with the same basic features and are dust- and water-resistant. They also launch with the ability to use always-on display and a lock screen that shows the user what song they are listening to. Neither phone will have a headphone jack.
